ARK features a command console, which lets players perform actions normally not allowed otherwise, such as cheating. Listed below are all known commands along with their parameters.

Opening the console

The key-bindings used to open the console differ by platform/controller and game version:

Ark: Survival Ascended

  • On Steam.svg PC and consoles with keyboard and mouse active: press ~;
  • On Xbox One.svg Xbox or when using an Xbox controller: enable console access in the game settings, then open the pause screen with Menu and press View, as shown in the lower-left in game, to open the console;
  • On PS.svg Playstaton or when using a PS controller: enable console access in the game settings, then open the pause screen with Right Options and press Left Options, as shown in the lower-left in game, to open the console.

Ark: Survival Evolved

  • On Steam.svgEpic Games.svg PC and consoles with keyboard and mouse active: press Tab ↹;
  • On Xbox One.svg Xbox: enter the pause screen and simultaneously press LBRBXY;
  • On PS.svg PlayStation: simultaneously press L1R1SquareTriangle;
  • On Nintendo Switch.svg Switch: go to the settings either in-game or at the title screen and enable Console Access. Afterwards hit Minus on the controller in-game while the game is paused.

Notes

  • On multi-player servers, some of the commands (primarily cheats) require the player to authenticate with the enablecheats command, and need to be prefixed with cheat or admincheat if used on a multiplayer server. There is no such need in single-player.
  • Commands that target a creature / entity under your cross-hair are marked appropriately in the "Target" column, and commands that affect the executing player are marked with "Self". These commands cannot be used in the remote console.
  • Console commands are not case-sensitive.
  • Boolean parameters can be specified as "true", "false", or the numbers 1 or 0 (or 1.0 / 0.0) respectively.
  • All distances used in these commands are in game units, i.e. centimeters.
  • You can combine multiple commands to run in a single line using vertical bars |. For example: LeaveMeAlone | Fly | God. On multi-player servers, each of them will need to be prefixed with cheat individually.
  • All commands can be run through the graphical admin manager.

GFI

<BlueprintPathPart><Quantity><Quality><ForceBlueprint>ARK: Survival Ascended Check mark.svgARK: Survival Evolved Check mark.svgXbox Series.svgPS.svg Check mark.svg
General information
Target: Self (executing player)
Added in: 258.0
Argument information
Name Type Description

<BlueprintPathPart> String significant part of the blueprint path
<Quantity> Integer[32] Number of items to add
<Quality> Float Quality of added items
<ForceBlueprint> Boolean true or 1 to add the item's blueprint; false or 0 to add the item

Adds the specified item (or its blueprint) to the player's inventory in the specified quantity and with the specified quality.
This is a shortcut version for GiveItem. But instead of the complete blueprint path it is sufficient to specify only a significant part of it.
E.g. the blueprint path of the Tek ATV end in PrimalItemVHBuggy. You can use "vhbuggy" or "vhb" or "buggy" or "bugg" or "uggy" or... On the other hand "atv" will not work because it's the name of the item but not a part of the blueprint path.
For ambiguous parts you will maybe not get the item you want. Instead you get one that the search mechanism finds first. E.g. for Bug Repellant (PrimalItemConsumable_BugRepellant) you can't just say "bug" because this part is also included in "buggy". You will get the Tek ATV in this case. But "bugr" is specific enough to find definitely the Bug Repellant.
To specify items by their item number, use GiveItemNum.
To give items to another player, use GiveItemToPlayer.

Example:
cheat gfi bugr 10 0 0
cheat

Target: Entity under crosshair
Added in: 226.4

Will destroy all dinos on the ARK, based on the Tribe owner (or player owner) of the thing that you are currently looking at. Unclaimed dinos are in their own separate tribe, so using this command while targeting an unclaimed dino will destroy all unclaimed dinos and leave the tamed and wild dinos alone.

This will also destroy motorboats owned by the tribe.

General information
Target: Self (executing player)

Refills the player's health, stamina, oxygen, food & water immediately, and keeps them at their maximum level while the command is active. If the player is mounted the effects only apply to his mount, but not the player himself.

When firing weapons in infinitestats mode, no ammo is consumed from the inventory.
For weapons with magazines, bullets are removed from the magazine though. Once it is empty, and the "NO AMMO" message appears on the screen, it can be reloaded by either opening/closing the inventory or by switching weapons.

The command does not make the player invincible (i.e. he can still die from falls or high-level attacks such as a Dragon's bite, if the single-hit damage exceeds the player's maximum health stat). The command also has no effect on the carrying capacity.

Repeat the command to disable its effects.

SDF

<NamePart><Tamed><level>ARK: Survival Ascended<bLoadIfUnloaded>ARK: Survival Ascended Check mark.svgARK: Survival Evolved Check mark.svgXbox Series.svgPS.svg Check mark.svg
General information
Argument information
Name Type Description

<NamePart> String significant part of a creature's Entity ID (without _C)
<Tamed> Boolean true or 1: tamed, false or 0: wild
<level> float Give creature a specific level, set to 0 for random
ARK: Survival Ascended<bLoadIfUnloaded> Boolean Typically  ARK: Survival Ascended does not load or keep around complete creature data in memory, unless the creature (or a variant) exists in the world. This option forces the game to load the creature into memory if it hasn't been already (however, it is possible the creature will not be unloaded later).

Realistically, for an average player this should always be 1.

Spawn a creature of the specified type in front of the player character. For tames, it is necessary to put the creature in and out of a cryopod after spawning to get the correct stat values.

The NamePart has to be unique enough to specify the desired creature. E.g. "mega" is part of a lot of creature Entity IDs and is not suitable to specify what you want, but "Griff" is significant enough to address a Griffin.

For a list of all Entity IDs see Creature IDs.

Similar to SDF except you control as either a Wild or Tamed Dino but you cannot access the creature's inventory by yourself

The NamePart has to be unique enough to specify the desired creature. E.g. "mega" is part of a lot of creature Entity IDs and is not suitable to specify what you want, but "Griff" is significant enough to address a Griffin.

Note: this command has started spawning in creatures with unstable melee and/or health stats. You can spawn the creature in, note the health and or melee then cryo the creature. When you throw the creature out you may find that one or both stats have changed.

For a list of all Entity IDs see Creature IDs.

UnitDisplays the time spent for the current frame on the CPU, the time spent in the game thread, the time spent in the render thread, and the time spent for the current frame on the GPU. The GPU frame time is only displayed if the time spent is greater than 0 (e.g. the GPU is actually being used / does exist).

Name Type Description

<level> string Level w/o taming bonus

Spawn a creature of the specified type at the place of the player character and tames it. The dino isn't cheat-tamed, so still requires a saddle. The level is without taming bonus, so if you want to end with a level x you should divide that number by 1.5. E.g. you want level 150, that is 150 / 1.5 = 100. You type 100 and the result is 100 plus 50% taming bonus: 150.

<ZOffset> float Unknown

Warning: This command will crash your game if there's a typo in one of the blueprint paths. The creature must be put in and out of a cryopod or it will display wrong stat values and colors. Only use this command if you cannot use any of the stable alternatives like Summon or SpawnDino. Make sure to follow the requirements of the spawn commands (e.g. the sum of the ExtraLevels needs to be the value of ExtraLevels). It is necessary to put the creature in and out of a cryopod after spawning to get the correct stat values and colors - without doing so, the creature will have random colors and display wrong stat values.
Spawns a fully set up dino with the specified saddle, specified base and domesticated levels, colors.
This cheat tends to be long and cumbersome - you might want to write them in notepad and copy-paste them into the game when needed
Note that some parameters like SaddleBlueprintPath and DinoStats are string arguments, so if you don't want to use them, you should use "" (the empty string)
